Is there a way to display the chart on a specific part of the main screen?

I want to display the chart on a specific part of the main screen. How should I use the button-click event to express it?

I'd appreciate it if you could give me an example.

I am sorry that the translation is not smooth because I am not good at English.

What is the problem?
Position your chart where you want it to be (https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qwidget.html#geometry-prop) or use https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/layout.html

@jsulm Instead of creating one more window, I want to express the chart in a specific part of the main window. I wonder if I have to use a specific space such as QFrame or QWidget.

@jsulm has already said. Qt has two possibilities for where you can position a widget:

Do not use layouts, and use QWidget::setGeometry() or move().
Use layouts, and let Qt position and size your widget relative to other widgets.

If you use layouts for other elements of your main window, and then insist on placing your chart on the main window but outside of any layout, you will have problems with it running into other widgets.

Layouts are generally preferable to absolute positioning. QMainWindow is made for layouts. You do not "creating one more window" or need a QFrame or QWidget, assuming your "chart" is a QWidget.

I solved it in a different way.

I transferred the QchartView from a promote.

ui->graphicsView->setChart(chart); << I used this method.
